Narrative:

MD11 (aircraft 2) and L1011 (aircraft 3) were both on an ILS approach to runway 4L. At XX39Z the GS failed and both aircraft executed a missed approach. At XX43Z, air carrier X (aircraft 1) who was taxiing for takeoff reported that his wingtip may have struck something adjacent to the taxiway. An air carrier, who was behind air carrier X confirmed that air carrier X wing struck the GS antenna. Air carrier X returned to the ramp. Runway 4L was inspected by a port authority vehicle. The other air carrier then departed without incident. MD11 and L1011 later returned and landed on runway 4R without incident. The taxiway lights on taxiway K were notamed OTS, the taxiway was obscured by earlier heavy snow.

Title: ACR X TXWY EXCURSION HAD GND COLLISION WITH GS ANTENNA.

Narrative: MD11 (ACFT 2) AND L1011 (ACFT 3) WERE BOTH ON AN ILS APCH TO RWY 4L. AT XX39Z THE GS FAILED AND BOTH ACFT EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. AT XX43Z, ACR X (ACFT 1) WHO WAS TAXIING FOR TKOF RPTED THAT HIS WINGTIP MAY HAVE STRUCK SOMETHING ADJACENT TO THE TXWY. AN ACR, WHO WAS BEHIND ACR X CONFIRMED THAT ACR X WING STRUCK THE GS ANTENNA. ACR X RETURNED TO THE RAMP. RWY 4L WAS INSPECTED BY A PORT AUTHORITY VEHICLE. THE OTHER ACR THEN DEPARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. MD11 AND L1011 LATER RETURNED AND LANDED ON RWY 4R WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE TXWY LIGHTS ON TXWY K WERE NOTAMED OTS, THE TXWY WAS OBSCURED BY EARLIER HVY SNOW.
